Air New Zealand plays a pivotal role in supercharging New Zealand's success environmentally, socially and economically. That's a responsibility that we take very seriously. We can only fulfil this role with the trust of our customers, employees, shareholders, business partners and communities. The way we handle your personal information is crucial to earning and maintaining this trust.

As an international airline, we need to collect personal information about our customers and passengers. We try to collect this directly from you as much as possible, but may also collect information through some of our trusted third parties. We want to give you the best possible experience we can provide and need to collect and use some of your information to provide you the travel experiences, products and services you request from us.

We know that you will only entrust us with your personal information if you believe we look after it responsibly. We work hard to 'think privacy & do the right thing'. That's our privacy commitment to you wherever you are in the world.

Throughout the privacy centre, you can ask us to get more information, raise your concerns, make a request or provide feedback.

Air New Zealand is recognised as the organisation responsible for the collection and use of personal information in the context of providing the products and services we have outlined throughout the privacy centre.
